The whole Oregon Democrat vs GOP deal is just partisanship on overdrive. In my opinion, engaging in the whole left vs right paradigm is just disparaging yourself. Making generalizations and and assumptions of a persons ideas and beliefs based on what side they are thought to be on is just stupid. Saidit is here to give people a chance to express themselves, but if you're just here to label someone a commie or alt-right winger because something they said made you think they were on one side or the other, IMHO you only make a fool of yourself. It's divide and conquer. Personally, as an individual, I don't care about democrats or repbulicans or the left or the right. I make my own decisions based on the information I think is relevant, and try to listen to dissenting point of views.
